Yes, the cars are kept at their facility in Conn.

Linda is just their PR representative. Often times companies will farm out their PR work to an outside entity.

Re: New pictures of 96 and 97 GTR

I have been passed some reliable information today. The owner of the two GTR,s is Aaron Hsu, an extremely intelligent and wealthy individual who races historic sports gt,s and F1. Also owns a very nice collection of historic race cars, Lucky man!!

The two chassis # are 12R (confirmed) and 26r (uncomfirmed). As I had previously stated.

Nice work!

I recall seeing his name (along with many others) associated with Highcroft and Dayton, but had not been able to follow up on every lead. Thanks - and I will update the American fleet thread now to reflect this new info.

E-mail to the contact address bounces. I'd tried about a week ago as I was planning to pass through Danbury soon.

Anyone here going to the ALMS at Lime Rock June 30 - July 1?

Looks like Aaron has been the owner of #12R for quite some time:

The longtail is #21R and was spotted here in Germany last weekend after Aaron sold it

Didn't notice the first time, but why are all those NSX's parked outside?

Highcroft races that Acura prototype in the American LeMans Series (iirc) so they had a gathering to view the car there.

Re: New pictures of 96 and 97 GTR

A private message I received today caused me to revisit the Highcroft Racing website, where I happened to find new gallery photos that include #12R and #21R.

Go here:
http://www.highcroftracing.com/slide...lideshow2.html

Click "Next Screen" and then open the batch labeled "Corporate Office". As it runs through the slideshow, if you click on a picture it will open it as a slightly larger .jpg image and allow you to save it.

The photos are very nice - much like the first set that surfaced:
